Sunday Sessions at Freddy’s (Medium Speed) NEW TIME
October 25, 2026 · 2 PM
Freddy's Bar & Backroom, 627 5th Avenue (between 17th & 18th Streets), Brooklyn
A collaborative medium-speed music jam at Freddy’s where players request and lead tunes, learn by ear and practice linking sets with support from session leaders.
Practice learning tunes by ear, leading sets and linking tunes in a collaborative medium-speed jam with leader support, generally from 2–4pm.
**The medium speed jam is back and at a new time! This jam will now run on the fourth Sunday of each month, generally from 2-4pm. Let’s pick up the pace!** **We’ll start playing at 2:00, so get there a little early, grab a beer/juice/soda, order tots, and get settled!** **How it Works** **Our medium session is leveling up! Join us for a faster-paced challenge and more of a traditional session feel. We'll gather in the space, request and lead tunes, and try to string tunes together so we play more. We want this session to function as bridge between the slow jam and sessions "in the wild."** **The goals of this session will be:** * **Learn new tunes by ear** * **Practice calling/starting the next tune while playing** * **Increase our repertoire to include more sets** * **Feel how tunes link together (or don't!)** * **Bring our tempo closer to "dance speed"** * **Increase comfort with a session atmosphere where players are asked to start sets and/or contribute** **You'll still have support from our leaders, but this will be a more collaborative session than before. It's a safe space to try new things or you're welcome to just come along for the ride! We can still play some tunes slowly or break them down a bit for learning. There will be some familiar tunes and many new ones. Tunes won't always be called in advance, although we'll try to shout out the key.
